Just before the EMRA workshop, on the 11th of June, the SWARMs (Smart and Networking Underwater Robots in Cooperation Meshes) project consortium will organise “Conference on Novel Solutions for Underwater Vehicles in Autonomous Sea Operations.” The conference will be co-hosted by the Centre for Robotics & Intelligent Systems (www.cris.ul.ie).

The primary objective of the SWARMs project is to expand the use of underwater and surface vehicles (AUVs, ROVs, USVs) to facilitate the conception, planning and execution of maritime and offshore operations and missions.
